What is Visual Faith?

So just what is Visual Faith?

This is an attempt to gather 

some of the processes,

 and reminders of faith 

that tell part of the story 

for followers of Jesus.

We are made in the image

 of a creative God,

and visual faith tools honor 

His creative sanctification 

of believers on a daily basis.

It is the basic process of bringing together

 our great gifts of prayer and His Word- 

and adding visual, kinesthetic, 

and tactile adaptations that make meaning

 for us in our daily life.

It is the answer to the question-

What does this mean for me?
